"I was just hoping I'd stop them," Falle said of the two breakaways. "On the first, he didn't really get a good shot off and on the other, he missed the net."

A break.
A goal.
A hero.
"We had to come out playing hard or we knew we'd be packing," forward Tim Smith said.
And after 53 seconds, the Crimson was packing.
